These change of direction soccer drills from Coerver Soccer found on YouTube would serve as good warm up drills to loosen up the ankles and get some focus at the beginning of your practice just after stretching. When you are letting your players know what is expected you should do a short walking demonstration and I would suggest doing the the first drill, the outside foot change of direction, for a few minutes until most of your player have it and then do the second drill and third drill separately before maybe trying a combination of two of the drills and then all three and finally calling out just before the cut which of the three changes each player is to use. You can do any game or variation using these three change of direction drills but, how ever you do it, make sure to regularly practice these types of drills. As the beginning of the video suggests, these are drill designed to provide your players with a foundation. In other words these types of drills are essential to building the fancier moves.

Insider Soccer Site 3 v 2 Drill
Making the transition from the 5-6 year old division to the 7-8 year old division often provides opportunities for lessons in maturity that teach the soccer players that a team is always better than two or three star players working as individuals. At the younger ages players tend to bunch around the ball and do not tend to spread out or look for the open player when attacking. Helping your players make this transition can be challenging. There are many drills found at several different websites that can help you train your players to make this difficult transition. One such drill is the 3v2 drill found at the website Inside Soccer. There is a short 3-minute video that demonstrates a drill that should help ease the transition for your players. You may notice that the 2 defenders tend to win early in this demonstration but, the 3 forwards/strikers eventually begin to get the idea of passing to the open person for a clean shot.

Coerver Soccer Coaching Videos on Metacafe
I have featured three Coerver Coaching videos on this blog and I think these videos offer great ideas for coaches and parents. The three videos that I have featured on Soccer Coach Central Blogspot are each less than three minutes and provide an individual skill drill, a one-or-one trick/tactic drill and a game/relay.
If you have the time and would like to peruse all of the many many Coerver Videos found on metacafe click on the title of this blogpost above or click here . I will still feature the Coerver series from time to time but, I will be working in other helpful training videos from other sources as well.
